 PAGE 1 PLAYING THE GAME

 As the story opens , Indy is searching Barnett College for a mysterious
 statue. At this stage ,as Indy proceeds from room to room,You can
 examine an object more closely-and in some cases, Make use of it -
 simplly by clicking on them. Try clicking on the gargoyle in the fore-
 ground.
 After you have found the statue,Indy will return to his office,Where
 the next part of the story will unfold in a ``CUT SCENE``. Cut scenes
 are short animated-sequences like scenes from a movie- which can
 provide clues and information. They`re aralso used to show special-
 Animated sequences, as when an unsuspecting jungle rodent helps
 Indy get rid of a snake. When you are viewing a cut-scene, your cursor
 disappears and for the moment you don`t control the events.
 You begin directing Indy`s actions as he arrives in New York City.
 The displays are divided into the following sections:-

 THE ACTION SCREEN
 Is the largest part of the display. This is where
 the animated action takes place. Dialogue spoken by the characters
 also appears here.

 THE SENTANCE LINE
 Is directly below the Action Screen. You use this
 line to construct sentances that tell Indy what to do. A consists of
 a VERB (action word) and one or two NOUNS (objects).Some examples
 of sentances you you might construct on the sentance line are
 ``Use whip with statue`` or `` Use arrowhead with rag``. Connecting
 words like ``ON`` or ``WITH`` will automatically be inserted by the program.

              1: THE ACTION SCREEN     3:AVAILABLE VERBS
              2: THE SENTANCE LINE     4:THE INVENTORY ICONS


 PAGE 3

 AVAILABLE VERBS
 Are listed in the lower left side of the display. To select
 a verb,position the cursor over the word and push LEFT MOUSE BUTTON/ENTER
 or JOYSTICK FIRE BUTTON. The game has a ``quick-verb``feature that high-
 lights an appropiate verb when the cursor touches an interesting or
 useful object on the screen. For example, when Indy is near a door will
 high-light the verb OPEN. Pressing the right mouse button ,will use the
 quick-verb with the object, which in this case opens the door.DON~T
 worry: this feature won`t give away solutions to any of the puzzles.
 keep in mind though a verb is high-lighted, It may not be the only way
 to use an object, try the other verbs as well!

 NOUNS (objects)
 Can be selected in two ways, You may select a noun by
 placing the cursor over an object in the Action Screen. Many objects
 in the environment, and all the usable objects in the game, Have names
 if an object has a name, it will appear on the Sentance Line when you
 position the cursor over it . If no name appears for an object on the
 screen,you can be sure that it has no sagnificance other than as a part
 of a back ground , You may also select nouns by clicking on them
 in the Inventory.

 THE INVENTORY ICONS
 Are located to the right of the verbs. At the beginning
 of the game Indy`s inventory is limited to what ever he has retained from
 the first cut-scene. When he picks up or is given an object to use during
 the game play,an icon for that object is added to the inventory. There is
 NO limit to the number of objects Indy can carry.When there are more than ten
 objects in the inventory, Arrows appear to the left of the icons.
 Click on the arrows to scroll the icon window up or down.

 THE INDY QUOTIENT DISPLAY
 Will help you keep on track of your progress
 through the game. Press the Inventory/IQ Point key -i to view your point
 tables (see``indy quotient (IQ) points`` below for a full explanation
 of IQ points.)
 To move Indy around, position the cursor where you want him to go,and click
 Notice that WALK default verb in the sentance line- this because moving around
 is what Indy will be doing most often.

 THINGS TO DO IN NEW YORK
 Look at the newspaper at the stand next to the door
 at the theatre.Place the cursor over the newspaper, you will notice that the
 verb LOOK is high-lighted. Push the right mouse button and indy will walk
 to the newspaper and tell you what he sees.to


 PAGE 4

 THINGS TO DO IN NEW YORK cont
 Pick up the paper select the verb pick-up by placing the cursor over the
 verb and pressing the left mouse button or enter key. Notice that the words
 ``pick-up`` appear on the sentance line .Position the cursor over the newspaper
 and push the left mouse button or enter key.This completes the sentance
 ``pick-up newspaper``on the sentance line.If Indyis not already standing
 by the newspaper. He will walk over to it and pick it up.The newspaper
 icons will be added to the inventory.

 Open the theatre`s back door. See if you can talk your way past the
 doorman without getting into a fist-fight. Explore the alley a bit
 further...maybe there`s another way to get to the theatre.

 THE PATHS
 At a certain point in the game, you will find yourself back in
 Indy`s office, with a decision to be made: Should you persuade Sophia
 to continue with Indy on the search ? Do you want to proceed on your
 own, using your intellect to overcome the obstacles in your way?
 or would you rather spice up your quest with a little more action??
 There are 3 ways to procced from this point. The choice you make will
 influence the course of the story. While the team,wits and fists paths
 cross one another at times, many of the puzzles and their solutions-as
 well as the places which you can visit - will be different. The path`s
 re-converge when you reach ATLANTIS..
 We suggest you reserve a Save Game slot for the decision(see game controls)
 That way, once you~ve successfully completed the path of your choice, You
 can return to the point of decision to sample a differnt path..

 SPECIAL INTERFACES
 Occasionally, you will find the standard interface replaced by specialized
 controls:--

 TALKING TO CHARACTERS
 There are plenty of characters in the game with whom you can converse.
 Nearly everyone Indy meets will have something to do or say, Wheter
 freindly or not ...helpful or unhelpful !often, you can talk with
 someone and then return later for new Information.
 In a conversation, you select what Indy says from the list appearing
 at the bottom of the screen . Just click on the phrase you want him to say
 of course,Your choice will affect how other people will respond.
 And as conversations continue, you may be presented a new array of
 dialogue choices.
 Occasionally you may find yourself unable to resist a particularly
 amusing statement. Keep in mind that just as in real-life some of
 Iny`s wisecracks can lead to trouble. Fortunately in Indiana Jones
 And The Fate Of Atlantis, you can save a game before surrendering to
 temptation...

 FIGHTING
 Remember, picking a fight is dangerous. Losing can lead to the game`s
 abrupt end, If you choose the action path, you will find it necessary
 to fight your way to several situations.
 NOTE:-In most cases,you can ``sucker punch`` your opponent and win the
 fight.keep in mind that you dont get IQ points for using this option.
 Notice the displays for health and punch-power


 PAGE 6

 FIGHTING cont
 Both for Indy and,below that for his opponent. If either combatant
 is hit,His health decreases, When health drop`s to a dangerous level
 the display will turn yellow, When the drop in health becomes critical
 the display will turn red  , When a compbatannt`s health is entirely used
 he will be knocked on Conscious. If Indy rests beetween fights,he will
 ~~HEAL~~and his Health Power will return to normal.
 The punch power display shows how powerful Indy`s swing will be. Each time
 Indy tries to hit,his Punch Power takes a few moments to build back up
 to it~s maximum ,If Indy swings again to quickly, he will not hit a maximimum
 power. Of course it may be important to keep his energy off balance than
 to hit for maximum effect. Indy can punch high,middle or low to try to
 get past his opponents defenses. Each enemy has his own individual
 strengths and weaknesses.
 To punch your opponent,position the cursor on him and push either Mouse Button
 (you can switch to keyboard/joystick.)
 Indy also has some defensive moves. His opponents often set their fists a
 moment before they try to punch.If you watch for his and have Indy block
 at the positioning the cursor on Indy(Either high/middle/low)and clicking
 you can successfully block the punch. Also Indy step back to increase the
 distance between Him and the opponent. This can be used to buy a little time
 for Indy to recover some of his punch-power. If you dont like the way the
 fight is going .you can make your Escape by repeatedly backing Indy away
 from his opponent.
